Muscles of the Anterior Neck

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

Summary

This study details the anterior submuscular transposition technique for ulnar nerve compression, including its history, methods, and outcomes. It also addresses managing cases where previous ulnar nerve surgery was unsuccessful.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Neurosurgery
Hand Surgery

Background:

Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow is a common condition.
Surgical intervention is often required for relief.
Anterior submuscular transposition is a key surgical technique.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the historical development of anterior submuscular transposition.
To describe the surgical technique, including musculofascial lengthening.
To analyze outcomes and complications, and discuss revision surgery.

Main Methods:

Historical review of surgical techniques.
Detailed description of the anterior submuscular transposition procedure.
Analysis of patient outcomes and complication rates.
